paint.net 5.0.11 is now available

This update has a handful of important bugfixes, and an updated DdsFileTypePlus plugin.

Get the Update

There are two releases of Paint.NET:

  • Microsoft Store release (recommended)
  • Classic Desktop release
    • Download the installer from the website. This is the recommended download if you don’t have Paint.NET installed. It can also be used to update the app.
    • If you already have it installed, you should be offered the update automatically within the next few days, but you can also get it immediately by going to ⚙ Settings -> Updates -> Check Now.
    • Offline Installers and Portable ZIPs are available over on GitHub.

Change Log

Changes since v5.0.10:

  • Fixed: If an image file (such as .png or .jpg) is actually a WebP image, the WebPFileType will be used for loading instead of WIC’s WebP codec (which doesn’t work correctly)
  • Fixed a crash when undoing brush strokes
  • Fixed a rare crash in the updater UI when exiting the app
  • Fixed a crash that was preventing CodeLab’s UI Preview functionality from working
  • Updated the bundled DdsFileTypePlus plugin to v1.12.8.0. It now supports DDS files from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, and has fixed BC5 Signed saving (thanks @null54!)

    I could not complete the classic desktop update 5.0.11 from 5.0.10 under latest stable Windows 11 update. Symptoms varied from an incomplete hang to a blocked install to desktop paint icon blank. After an hour of futzing around all is OK but unfortunately I cannot be more precise about the problem or its solution, except I finally downloaded 5.0.11 from getpaint.net. FYI
